We've had two practices so far, and I'm so psyched for the upcoming season. Aside for the new recruitment of rookies, who show some serious promise, I'm also excited about myself. My throws have been looking much sharper, but I really need to start practicing more coming out of the crouch.
Many of you know that I love hitting for power (or at least trying), and when you try to lift the ball, naturally, sometimes you'll miss and it could lead to popups. Now, I'm not saying that I've tried to lift the ball, but I'll say I've tried to hit the ball maybe harder than I should have. That's something I've worked on over the summer, and I also focused on hitting opposite field. I was doing that really well during BP and it felt real good. I'm pretty sure I'll get into a few this year, but for now, I know that hitting line drives and thinking opposite field is good for me.
Also, I'd really appreciate if the Yankees could beat the Phillies in Game 6. Reasons:
1) I'm a Yankee fan, I want them to win.
2) If it goes to Game 7, we have practiced moved to Friday morning so everyone can watch the game Thursday night. So, just how hungover can we be for practice?
Either way, it'll be much easier if the Yanks win. I'm pretty confident they will. I mean, Andy has been throwing really well, and being a lefty has worked wonders for him against the lefty-stacked Phillies lineup. I know his numbers in Game 6 of WS isn't good, but they weren't for Game 6 of ALCS, and look what happened. Also, Pedro's bag of tricks shouldn't work twice. The Yanks are likely to pounce on him. But, I have the utmost respect for Pedro and you never know, he may surprise some folks.
So that's it for me now. I just want to get one more chapter in and then I'm off for some shut-eye. I just really want to enjoy the next 2 1/2 weeks of structured baseball. After this, it's all mostly individual stuff until February.
